My husband Reggie and I had an amazing time as media guests of the Mount Airy Casino Resort in the Poconos this past weekend. There were so many great aspects of this Poconos resort that\u00a0I will be sharing about everything over the course of three posts this week. In this first one, I will\u00a0share about the rooms, casino and some of the entertainment. I will write about the delicious food and restaurant in the second post. I will wrap up the series focusing on the health and pampering (my favorite!) aspect of the resort \u2013 the pool, spa and salon, fitness center and golf course.<\/p>\n

When I said that I was going to Mount Airy, friends asked about the heart shaped \u201clove\u201d furniture and the champagne tubs. \u00a0Alas, they were not there. \ud83d\ude41 \u00a0The old commercials that all of us remembered were based on the Mount Airy Lodge that was torn down. Since 2007, Mount Airy Casino Resort has been privately owned by the DeNaples\u00a0family so it\u2019s a fairly new property. The new\u00a0<\/span>Mount Airy Casino Resort has even earned the AAA Four Diamond Award designation for six straight years. (It is the only Poconos resort with this honor.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Reggie and I loved our King Room. The pillow-top bed was so comfortable that I didn\u2019t want to leave the room. The bed and the Gilchrist & Soames\u00a0lotion were my favorites. Meanwhile,\u00a0Reggie appreciated the flat screen TV and the large bathroom. Take a peek:<\/p>\n <\/p> Reggie and I also tried our hand at the casinos on Saturday night. \u00a0(That\u2019s the only place that you can\u2019t take pictures.) On the first floor, there are 1,800 slot machines and 80 table games. Although I don\u2019t know how to play Poker, I preferred the upstairs Poker Parlor because it is non-smoking and a bit quieter. Open 24 hours a day, the Parlor has its own bar as well as \u00a0a smaller slot machine area in \u00a0the part that is separated from the poker games. (I ended up winning a little bit of money \u2013 enough to cover my spa and housekeeper tips. \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n Since my mom loves casinos I was interested in the Bus Lounge area for future visits. Chartered buses come to Mount Airy Casino Resort from New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and even Atlantic City. (I noted one line in particular \u2013 Martz Trailways \u2013 because it comes from New York City and is approximately two and a half hours away. That\u2019s the one my mom would probably use.)<\/p>\n We went to the Gypsies Lounge nightclub on Friday night. Reggie and I are more into hip hop and R&B music, so the rock music wasn\u2019t really our cup of tea. That\u2019s fine though because everything isn\u2019t for everybody. The sound was great and there were people dancing though. Here\u2019s a snippet of Zed D\u2019 Lance:<\/p>\n <\/p> The pool area (which I\u2019ll talk more about in my third post) is home to several nightclub parties from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Little Jon and Shaggy are just a couple of the artists who have recently performed pool-side. (YEAH!!!)<\/span><\/p>\nCasino<\/h2>\n
